Thank you for following our live coverage of Derby County's Sky Bet Championship clash with Hull City.

A late goal from Florian Jozefzoon gave Derby County a 2-1 victory over Hull City in their Sky Bet Championship clash at the KCOM Stadium.

The summer signing from Brentford struck in the 88th minute with his first league goal for the Rams, having opened his account for the club in Tuesday night's 4-0 Carabao Cup second round win against the same opponents.

Martyn Waghorn had earlier done likewise by opening the scoring from the penalty spot midway through the first half.

Todd Kane, on loan from Chelsea, equalised for the Tigers after 53 minutes but Frank Lampard's men claimed a fourth successive victory in all competitions.

Their third league win on the trot lifted them to fourth in the table after six games, only two points behind leaders Leeds United, going into the international break.

What Frank Lampard had to say following Hull win

Frank Lampard praised the character of the players after Derby County hit a late winner to beat Hull City this afternoon.

It was a tough game, the second half very tough, and that is the Championship. We were the better team first half, without a doubt and should have been more than a goal up but full credit to Hull they made it very difficult for us second half. They will feel they deserved a draw, and they have got a good case for that. But we showed great character at the end to get the win.”
